Chapter 609 Ma Gong

Gao Xianning, who came from Huguang, went to Beijing first.

He was immediately appointed as the Minister of Dali Temple; with Zhang Sheng, commander of the Jinyiwei, Du Erlang, envoy of the Northern Fushi, and Yao Fang, general banner of the Northern Fushi, as his assistants, Gao Xianning took over Xue Yan's unfinished affairs.

It was not until late February that the Hanwangfu official office, family members, guards and other large groups arrived at Longjiang Port in the capital.

Zhu Gaoxu appointed Wang Gui as the eunuch of the Sili Prison and sent someone to settle his family in the Western Six Palaces for a while, waiting for the enthronement.

After meeting his family in the Ganqing Palace, Zhu Gaoxu came to the East Nuan Pavilion and immediately summoned Miaojin and the eunuch Wang Yin...

The first person to enter the partition was Miao Jin. She bowed to Zhu Gaoxu, who was sitting behind the imperial desk, and was wearing a loose Taoist robe and a bun.

Zhu Gaoxu said: No gifts.He then waved his hands to Hou Xian and Wang Jinghong standing next to him.

The two eunuchs immediately retreated and left the Donghunting Pavilion.

Miao Jin glanced slightly, and her expression became a little unnatural.

Seeing that the left and right were all shut out, she knew Gao Xu better. Sometimes Zhu Gaoxu repaired cars regardless of the occasion.

Miaojin sat on the stool.Zhu Gaoxu had no intention of being frivolous.

Miao Jin looked up at the yellow dragon robe he was wearing and said: Xie Sheng.

You don't have to be polite.Zhu Gaoxu looked at her for a while, and soon spoke again, I remembered the eunuch Wang Yin, which seemed to have something to do with Wang Gou'er.Wang Gou'er is now in the imperial prison and is suspected of murdering the late emperor!

After hearing this, Miao Jin trembled slightly, and she was obviously a little nervous. Wang Yin recognized the eunuch Wang Gou'er as his godfather, but he should not be Wang Gou'er's accomplice.

I know that the two years ago, I was deceived into the palace by the rebels of the Eastern Palace. Wang Yin received the warning from Miao Jin and made great contributions.Zhu Gaoxu said kindly.He knew that Miao Jin felt guilty about Zhang Yan's orphan.

That happened almost ten years ago.

First, the identity of the monk Xu Kong, Jianwen's traitor, was exposed; another traitor, the dictionary of the prince's mansion Zhang Yan, killed Xu Kong and protected Miao Jin's identity.

The orphan left by Zhang Yan was also castrated as a eunuch.

To this day, Miao Jin still has the intention to protect the eunuch Wang Yin, which is understandable.

Zhu Gaoxu paused and continued: I was busy with raising troops and fighting before, so I didn't pay attention to this matter; Miao Jin had never mentioned it to me on his own initiative.It was not until recently that I remembered Wang Yin.

Miaojin's expression was sometimes solemn, and her eyes were sometimes flashing.

She finally said: I didn't mean to conceal Gao Xu... Master.But when talking about those things, it is inevitable that the late emperor would be threatening and tempting and wanting to be a concubine. I don’t want to mention it anymore, so I have been avoiding talking about it...

Zhu Gaoxu asked in a complicated mood: Miaojin has never surrendered?

Miao Jin suddenly got angry and blushed and said: The emperor doesn’t believe me, what kind of person am I? At that time, I had already committed myself to you... How could I have the face to surrender to the late emperor? Besides, if I surrender, how could I be locked in the Prayer View for several years?

Zhu Gaoxu sighed when he heard this.

When he went to Yunnan to take the vassal state and did not take Miaojin away in time, it led to Miaojin trapping in the palace. At that time, he had no choice but to do anything; this incident made him quite annoyed.

Miao Jin said angrily: I have always been clear about right and wrong. Even if my life is in danger, I will never be willing to do such things that go against my wishes.However, I have never blamed you for three wives and four concubines!

There is a difference between men and women.Zhu Gaoxu said.

Miao Jin's chest fluctuated and she was silent for a while before she calmed down a little. She said: Maybe because I am close to Empress Renxiao Xu, the late emperor trusted me more and promised to be the imperial concubine.I don’t know how these things were discovered by ‘Ma Gong’.

Ma Gong?Zhu Gaoxu immediately noticed the name.But he didn't rush to ask, and waited for Miaojin to finish what she knew.

Miao Jin continued: ‘Ma Gong’ asked Wang Yin to bring the words into the palace twice.The first time was a letter. In the secret letter, I threatened me, agreed to the promise of the late emperor, and took advantage of the opportunity of serving the bed to assassinate the late emperor!Of course I turned a deaf ear.The second time, "Ma Gong" saw Wang Yin again, he brought a message into the palace and urged me to do "that thing", otherwise he would be responsible for the consequences!

At that time, I was very worried and scared. I melted a little jewelry with an alchemy furnace. After being exposed by Ma Gong, I swallowed gold and committed suicide.Unexpectedly, the late emperor passed away not long after!

When Zhu Gaoxu heard Miao Jin's preparation to commit suicide, he looked at her with a little fear and heartache; but he was worried about things in his heart, so he didn't say much about these past events.

After Miao Jin finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu asked: Who is ‘Ma Gong’?

Miao Jin said: Judging from the handwriting of the first letter, he was originally called "Ma Gong"; he was the one in the court who was responsible for managing and contacting the traitors in Peking before the "Jingnan Campaign", and his identity has never been made public.

After I was arranged by Emperor Jianwen and my father to go to Peking, I never knew the true identity of this person.It is said that Zhang Yan, the Dianpu of the Prince of Yàn, knew who Ma Gong was, and had a relationship with Ma Gong; but Zhang Yan and the Zhang family were all dead.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded quietly and thought to himself: Xue Yan's judgment is very reasonable. Those who do that big thing must have some power and ability, and one person cannot do it; and this Ma Gong had mastered the intelligence personnel of the Jianwen court against the Yàn Palace more than ten years ago, and he must still have some connections, such as Miao Jin.

Miao Jin frowned for a moment and said, "Ma Gong" was also the adopted father of the eunuch Wang Yin.At first I thought "Ma Gong" was a eunuch in the Jianwen Dynasty; but Wang Yin had met "Ma Gong", and according to his description, this person was indeed not a eunuch.

After Zhang Yan died, his orphan was sent to the capital; I was still in the palace of the Yàn, so I could no longer care about this matter.

The orphan is Wang Yin now. He was first adopted by Ma Gong as his adopted son; after the "Jingnan Battle", Ma Gong suddenly disappeared!

Wang Yin was wandering outside for many days before he met the eunuch Wang Gouer.Then he was tempted by Wang Gou'er and sent to the palace to be a eunuch.It was then that Wang Yin recognized Wang Gou'er as his godfather and changed his surname to Wang.

Miao Jin looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a pleading look again. Wang Yin was too young and was just used, so he must have nothing to do with the conspiracy.He came to the prayer tour occasionally, but never showed that he knew about the conspiracy.

I know.Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Zhu Gaoxu sat in the chair thoughtfully, without saying a word for a long time.

That Ma Gong is very suspicious.

Because he first tried to use Miaojin's line to threaten Miaojin and asked her to assassinate the late emperor while serving in bed!

Therefore, it can be inferred that later, Miaojin's tool was useless, so Ma Gong used Wang Gou'er, or other people hiding in the palace to murder the late emperor with the silver ring snake venom!

There is a problem: Wang Gouer entered the Yàn Palace very early and has always been the confidant of the late emperor. When Wang Gouer was castrated and sent to the Yàn Palace, Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao seemed to have not died yet!

At that time, Emperor Taizu's heir to the throne, Zhu Biao, must have been the eldest son of Taizu, who was particularly fond of, and there was no suspense at all. Zhu Yunwen seemed not old, and there was no need or ability, so he would have planted a spy in the Yàn mansion early.

Wang Gou'er, a confidant of the late emperor, has already made great progress in the palace and is also a homeless eunuch. What motive does he have to murder the late emperor?

Maybe there is someone else who attacks directly?!For example, Xue Yan's other judgment is that the poisonous needle was buried in the mud in advance, and Wang Gou'er just happened to dig the mud with the poisonous needle?

In any case, Zhu Gaoxu now believes that he must first find Ma Gong and then continue to investigate!

Zhu Gaoxu then said: Miaojin will help me with something, ask Wang Yin in detail, and draw a portrait of "Ma Gong".He also told Wang Yin not to tell anyone about this matter, so as not to alarm the enemy.

Miaojin stood up and said: Follow the order.

Zhu Gaoxu said: Wang Yin made contributions to the matter in the palace two years ago; not to mention that I have to look at Miao Jin's relationship, and I will definitely be tolerant to Wang Yin and will not do anything to him.

Miao Jin looked at Zhu Gaoxu's face with a complicated expression for a while, and she bent her knees and said: Thank you, Master.

After Miao Jin said goodbye, Zhu Gaoxu told Wang Yin to come in and ask questions. Wang Yin's description is no different from Miao Jin's words; it seems that the things he knew have already told Miao Jin.

...There is a big problem with the similarity between the portrait and the person who describes orally and describes the portrait.

The purpose of this portrait is to judge a rough idea, such as age, height, fat and thin, etc.

Thinking about the wanted celebrity like Qi Tai who was wanted back then, Qi Tai could still sway out of Yangzhou City with Zhu Gaoxu; you can imagine how much the wanted portrait looks like him.

After Zhu Gaoxu got the portrait of Ma Gong, he summoned Gao Xianning, the new Dali Temple Minister, and handed the portrait to Gao Xianning.Zhu Gaoxu told Gao Xianning what Miao Jin knew in person again.

Gao Xianning also agreed with Zhu Gaoxu's insight: it is best to find out who is Ma Gong first.

Because of Wang Gou'er's clue, the Jinyiwei used various methods to pry his mouth. Now Wang Gou'er's body is already very weak, and he is afraid that his wound will be infected and killed.

Besides, Wang Gou'er has no motive for committing the crime, so maybe he is obedient to focus on Wang Gou'er!

Zhu Gaoxu encouraged Gao Xianning and said: If the truth can be found out in this major case.I plan to enfeoff the palace first, and when my descendants have completely settled the throne, they can be taken out and made public to the world to overturn the case and clear the grievances of my elder brother.

By then, as the chief judge of this case, Gao Siqing will be able to remain famous in history and be remembered forever!Gao Siqing can also become a person like Di Renjie.

Gao Xianning thanked him: The wise and the wise are kind.

However, the reason why Di Renjie was famous for his generation was not because of his excellent investigation of the case, but because he persuaded Wu Zetian to pass the throne to the Li family and it played a role.

Of course, there is no need to be serious about these things, and Gao Xianning is also very willing to do this.

Such a major secret case must be involved in someone who Zhu Gaoxu truly trusts to get involved.Gao Xianning's ability to do this has shown his position in the heart of the new emperor.
